In July of 2012 I had one planned surgery followed by two emergency surgeries,
during which I developed pneumonia in the ICU those 2 1/2 weeks and nearly died. My

me, and returning me to health in the months after. Then he died of a heart attack
in my chair in our bedroom that following October. The poem is about him giving his
life to save mine.
